Reality TV's Tareq Salahi seeks divorce from Michaele

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Reality TV star Tareq Salahi on Friday filed for divorce from his runaway wife Michaele, and accused her of having an affair with Journey guitarist Neal Schon.

Salahi, who appeared with Michaele last year in the Bravo network show "The Real Housewives of D.C.," filed the divorce papers in Warren County Circuit Court in Virginia.

The Salahis, who married in 2003, are best known for sneaking past White House security and into a state dinner in 2009, where they shook hands with President Barack Obama. The fete earned them the nickname, White House gate crashers.

Earlier this week, when Michaele failed to return home Tareq reported her missing or kidnapped to authorities, according to divorce papers posted online at celebrity website TMZ.com.

Tareq said in the court papers that he later learned Michaele was not kidnapped at all, but was in "an adulterous relationship" with Journey guitarist Schon. Tareq is seeking a divorce on those grounds.

LMAO Are you kidding? Tareq is so broke that even Michaele won't touch his zero-point-10 inch pole! I give her credit though -- she was loyal enough to him to lie-by-omission to Congress... Tareq filing for divorce first to save face is more transparent than lucite! He's gonna feel pretty lonely back at home ; telling lies to folks with nobody around to swear to them, anymore.

Add to the fact his wife is out shtupping a rock star, his/their winery equiptment is going on the auction block this Saturday. Salahi claims that they are just 'disposing" of old equiptment. Looks more like to whole winery, stainless steel holding tanks do not "wear out". You are out of business, Jack!
